Former White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said that “99%” of the people who harass her are women.
Sanders appeared on Fox & Friends Friday morning, making her debut on the network as a contributor. The show was dedicated to honoring first responders, and they had a live studio audience.
During her appearance, Steve Doocy asked Sanders about how she’s been treated in public since leaving the White House, while specifically referencing the time she was kicked out of the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia in June of 2018.
“What I always find interesting is, 99% of the people that come over to say something negative and to attack you are women,” she said. “I find that very startling from a, you know, group of people that claim to be the champions of women empowerment.
“I am only the third woman and the first mom to ever be the White House press secretary, and yet women attack me relentlessly, instead of, you know, being proud that we have more women doing those types of jobs,” she added.
Sanders went on to say that she has not been asked to leave any restaurants since leaving her position.
